An official visual guide to the fantastical worlds and legendary characters of Magic: The Gathering
Part art book, part reference guide, Planes of the Multiverse provides both longtime fans and newcomers with a compelling overview of Magic’s most enduring locations—an essential companion to the broader visual history series and a vivid exploration of the worlds that define the game.
The world of Magic: The Gathering spans a vast Multiverse of extraordinary worlds—each with its own history, inhabitants, and defining magic. From the gothic horror of Innistrad to the sprawling cityscape of Ravnica and the mythic realms of Theros, these planes have served as the stage for countless battles, legendary conflicts, and unforgettable stories built over decades of the game’s evolution.
Magic: The Gathering: Planes of the Multiverse is a visual history of these iconic settings, bringing together high-quality reproductions of the game’s most striking artwork—many pieces presented outside the card frame for the first time—alongside accessible lore primers that trace the defining events of the Multiverse, from the Phyrexian Invasion to the War of the Spark.
Featuring detailed profiles of fan-favorite Planeswalkers including Karn, Narset, Vraska, and Sorin Markov, this volume explores how characters, cultures, and conflicts are shaped by the worlds they inhabit. Each chapter offers a focused look at a plane’s identity, history, and visual language, tying together art and storytelling into a cohesive portrait of Magic’s evolving universe.
